Hi Al,

I am afraid this behavior is by design in VS2005, there isn't any options
setting to disable it. This is a new code complete feature in VS2005, it
will add some custom common used code function(empty) when user double
clicks the name of a field in the dataset editor.

I am regret this new feature has bring you the inconvenience to your daily
development work, I will forward your concern to our corresponding product
team member, actually this feedback is a good lesson that we should
consider all kind of customer's needs and their usages, and keep our
product's interactive UI consistent with its previous version.

Thanks for your understanding!

Best regards,

Gary Chang

Thanks for the response.

I'm in the process of designing datasets. I'm still figuring out the names
of the columns. The ones in the previous generation were horrible. So I'm
constantly clicking on the name in the edit window (not the properties pane)
to start the edit. If only VB would adopt F2 as edit name ala explorer. That
is an ingrained habit that is soooo bad that I'm about to turn F2 off. I'm
not even sure that I can set F2 to act to open up the edit name window.

If you watched what I had to do to get the names and the captions correct MS
would try to figure out a better way to do it. Hmmm ... may be if I went to
extra large type font on the desk top and undocked the properties window. and
...

The moral of this story is code completion is fine BUT what makes this game
worthwhile is that "Bill Gates Won!" Ergo all MS products should work the
same way. If clicking or double clicking or whatever on a name in Explorer
allows you to edit it, the same should work universally. Ditto F2.

"Bill Gates Won!" implies that all programs work like Excel, Word and
Explorer when it comes to the GUI.

I make a good living making my GUI's do just that and don't have to spend a
lot of time writing help or hand holding.

Hello,

I used to also work in this way and I found a double-clcik actually will
open the code editor window. Sometimes this is convenient; Sometimes is not
necessary. Anyway, I didn't found any messed code will be added into XSD
file and make it won't compile. Can you tell more details on this? we may
find a proper solution for this issue.
